Ignore this if you don't have Unix (or Windows + win32-Perl + Cygwin32 GNU
fileutils). If you have Perl available you can do:
perl -ln0e 'tr/ACGTNacgtn- /TGCANtgcan/d; print scalar reverse $_;' <infile
This will remove any "-" and spaces, though. To write to a file instead
of the screen, just add >outfile to the end, of course. Only for ascii
files... you will get a horrible mess with a GCG file! It's a handful to
type, so I alias it to something short. If you use GNU csplit you can get
it to take Pearson/Fasta files by splitting on the headers and directing
the output files through this.
